Sometimes you can see life getting busy, and you have some stuff that needs to get accomplished. Skiing in August is one of those things. The snow is dwindling, and another silly goal to ski a different patch of snow for every month meant I couldn’t ski Timpanogos in August because that’s what I did last year, I was on a serious time crunch with work, work and work, and vacation. I have been very busy with work, and in fact today I got home from work at 8pm. Luckily on my way home I planned to go home and run inside and  grab my skis, so out the door I was by 8:15pm. I parked in Albion Basin in Alta and headed for the Devils Castle Apron. One diagonal line of the last (barely)  fully connected piece of snow in Alta, August 2nd 2010.
